Default Engine shuts off

I am too lazy to search
I cannot duplicate the problem at the shop.

I will be driving along under moderate acceleration and the engine just dies.
Let it sit over night and it fires right up.

When it won't start after it dies it as good spark and appears (no gauge) fuel pressure.

I have replace the fuel pump but no joy. I am certain it is a fuel problem. It happens most often when the fuel tank indicates less than 1/4. After bleeding the fuel rail it starts back up most of the time.

Any ideas.


Oh yea, I made up a jumper to replace the DME relay and it still wouldn't start once.

check your fuel pressure regulator or the fuel pressure dampener

I'd be thinking about the accuracy of the 1/4 on the gauge...

Check the vaccum lines it could be possible you are getting the wrong readings, hence not delivering enough fuel to the engine.
